Ten Things I Like About ME
I don't want anyone out there to think that I'm a self loathing person...I'm not. Hence....this post.
1. I like my sense of humor, I have a nack of keeping things light and funny, even the hard stuff. Guess it's my way of dealing with things I don't want to deal with...But it works.
2. I like that I am good at my job, it is the one place that I always feel competent and comfortable. There have been many times in the past 15 years that work has been my safe place...it helps that many of my co-workers are also my friends.
3. I like that, even though I am uncomfortable in crowds, I can "fit" in most any where. I can adjust my personality to fit the circumstance.
4. I like that I usually have a smile on my face...sometimes it is a fake one...but it is seldom missing. I think that when you give a smile you usually get one back.
5. I like that I am always willing to put my feelings aside and listen to other peoples problems, I may not be able to help them solve the problem but when you share a problem it usually lightens the burden.
6. I like that I am a very good peace-maker...thru years of experience I am usually able to calm the waters between people I love. I have been running interference between my siblings and my dad for years.
7. I like that I can enjoy sitting quietly with my husband...saying nothing...doing nothing...or watching and ball game or some stupid show on TV.
8. I like that I am a kind, caring, loving parent. I hope that my children someday will agree with that.
9. I like that I have the ability to get lost in a good book...to forget all else for a short period of time and just enjoy the mindless pleasure of a good story.
10. I like that, for the most part anyway, I am comfortable in my own skin. It had taken me nearly my whole life to make to this point, but I think that I have finally succeeded....usually!
This was a much harder list to write
